The Poor Fitting Pattern

Made with this course.

Project Description

What was your inspiration?
As you watch the video you will see a fit sample created right out of the pattern envelope that does not utilize joi's methods for pre- applying your body measurements. Notice all the areas of fit that need adjusted. This is what most sewers run into.

What you will need

Just one muslin for tweaking the fitting shell

Q&A with Joi Mahon

Calumn asked:

This is the 'final' fitting?

Joi Mahon answered:

Correct- this was a photo taken during shooting and it was the sample that I created using old school methods that most sewers do, and you see the ill- fitting. It was posted in my class and I did not label it. I am trying to change that becaue it is misleading for sure. Hopefully, however people will realize that.

Please could you confirm whether the title of this photo is accurate? I am very interested in the course but this looks like the sort of early toile that needs substantial alteration.

Joi Mahon answered:

Hey everyone, I was able to change the incorrect title to the photo from taping. Yes, I had that marked on the fit sample and if you watch the fitting video I show this example that is unchanged. Thanks for catching that.

I would also like to know how I should choose a pattern size to start from. Can't sign up until I know what size to order. :(
